Two suggestions: First after you've set all your relations reset the grid recordsource and refresh the grid. This MAY work.

Second, If you're using local views then simply add one MORE view which combines all of your data. Most likely you're looking to show description fields from lookup tables instead of ID fields. You can design a view that does this with CREATE VIEW and your own SQL-Select code. It's easy and can be updated later with Erik Moore's eView program (check item 971 in the Visual FoxPro in General section of Files).

>I seem to having a great deal of trouble incorporating information from related cursors into a single grid. A single cursor works fine, but setting a relationship between two, results in a blank grid. Do the cursors have to be active when creating the Grid in the form.
